[cobalt-users] Frontpage + SSL

[Francisco Sánchez <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have run the rpm -Va command in my RaQ4 server and have found that it
complaints because we443.cnf is missing.

I understand that this file would enable SSL authoring with Frontpage.

Well, I have searched through the list and found that we443.cnf can be
created with this:

echo "vti_encoding:SR|utf8-nl" > /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf
echo "frontpageroot:/usr/local/frontpage/version4.0" \
 >>  /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf
echo "serverconfig:/etc/httpd/conf/fpx.httpd.conf" \
 >>  /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf
echo "authoring:enabled" \
 >>  /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf
echo "servertype:apache" \
 >>  /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf
echo "SMTPHost: 127.0.0.1" \
 >>  /usr/local/frontpage/we443.cnf

I have done so and rmp -Va no longer complaints about it.  However, I am
unable to use SSL for authoring webs (of course the webs I am trying do have
an SSL cert.).

On the other hand, I have found that by renaming files in
/usr/local/frontpage like www.domain.com:80.cnf to www.domain.com:443.cnf
SSL authoring is enabled.

But, shouldn't this file (the one with www.domain.com:443.cnf) be created
automatically when enabling Frontpage extensions for a site?

Also, SInce I have several Frontpage webs with the same IP address, only the
main one accepts SSL authoring.  SHould there be any way to enable SSL for
the other sites?  I understand that only one site per IP can have SSL in
port 443, but my question is if there is any way to enable the other sites
in the same IP by using different ports for SSL.  Has anyone achieved this?

Best regards,
